Gwen and I lucked out to go to San Diego last week with my family. I took Alexis's ticket, because she ended up not being able to miss school. I didn't know I was going until 30 minutes before we had to leave. I've never had to pack so fast. Sometimes you have to be spontaneous and seize the moment. We had the time of our lives!
She immediately fell in love with the sand. She would lay right in it and sift it through her fingers.

Gwen had so much fun with Tanner. He is the coolest uncle!
Silly girl rubbed her face right in the sand. It took awhile to get the sand out of her ears, nose, scalp, and eyes!

She went crazy over the birds and airplanes. She would chase them and get SO excited!
They had awesome parks right by the beach and tennis club where we stayed. Gwen could've played there all day!
Breath taking sunset. I love the ocean! So beautiful and peaceful!
My dad and I kayaked over to the cliff's to see the seals. We had a great time! After he put Gwen in the kayak and let her ride the wave in.
Can you see the seals chillin on the rocks? They are so funny!
Funny story... I would take Gwen to the golf course to see the ducks in the morning. There were swans and geese in the pond as well. Gwen had popcorn in her hand and the swan attacked her. It grabbed her right by the sweater with his beak. It was seriously bigger than Gwen and scared her to death. Swan's are pretty to look at from a distance, but are mean!
The Yarrows were staying at our same hotel. We had a blast with their family. Here we are digging for sand crabs. There were so many!
My Uncle Bryan and his family joined us for a few days. We all went to Mission beach and the boys surfed on the Maximus. Nick, Tanner, and David are so good! They looked like pro's on the wave machine.

When we first arrived in San Diego this is what Gwen did. She ran up and down the beach screaming with excitement and layed right in the sand. I think she's meant to be a surfer girl!
It couldn't have been a more fun vacation. The weather was 77 degrees every day. The calming sounds of the ocean made Gwen sleep like a champ. The options are limitless when you are at the beach. We sure missed Chase, Mike, and Lex!
Looks like you guys had a great time! As always I am so jealous at all the fun you had. As soon as it gets warm you and Gwen should come swimming up at our house:)
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! Every time I see pictures of Gwen I think her and Paislee look soo much alike! Maybe its just me, but really I think they could be twins! So of course, I think she is absolutely darling! We really should get together this summer, and go swimming or something. The girls would have so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI want her cute swimsuit in my size!
